Youll need all the side skirt brackets and the GT front bumper support (unless the foglight bar can mount to the LX part).
They rivet on thru holes in the body.

well the lx and gt are pretty much the same, theres a place near my house that has like 40 different mustangs from 80-93. so ill just rip em off paint it and put it on the car. and i also think the GT is a bit more money on the insurance side. but the car that i have in that link looks awsome, i cant wait to see it. but honestly can anyone tell me what they think of it

That is alot of miles, so make sure he is not selling it because it is at the point everything is starting to break. Add on parts are only good for so long before they need to be replaced and most people on this site can tell you about all the things they had to replace shortly after purchasing their car.

LX's cost less than GT's so you will save a little because your car is not worth as much. The insurance companys look at the engine code in the VIN to set your rate. Mine is a LX but my insurance company did not care anything about the letters. If you find a LX that someone did a 4 to 8 cylinder swap it will save you on the monthly note, but if you ever total the car they will only pay you for a LX 4 cylinder.

Good luck on finding a good car and do not rush into a bad deal.
